Management
- I currently don’t have a medical billing and coding management title, which I am fine with, but I am in charge of training new billers and coders on how the EMD’s system works regarding billing and coding.
- I feel communication plays a huge role in any job, whether it’s a person working in fast food, or a CEO of a company.
- I do have some leaderships skills at my current job that I am proud of – I train the new billers and coders how the EMD’s system works when billing and coding services.
PAPER CLAIMS PROCESSOR I – CVS HEALTH – 4/2018 TO CURRENT
- Duties are manually keying reimbursement claims into a couple of different systems (MedForce and AS400) and making sure the reimbursement is done correctly with no errors at all. If errors do happen, we are to reverse the claims we just keyed and wait up to 48 hours to ensure the reversal was done right and the monies were not sent out the door to the member/patient/pharmacy. This job requires extensive attention to detail, and I work this job Monday – Friday 5AM-1:30PM. I am part of the Commercial Paper Claims Processing Team so we deal with large carriers such as Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, APO (Army Post Office – troops overseas), etc. there are several scenarios where a member/patient/pharmacy is seeking reimbursement: member paid 100% out of pocket when prescription was filled because they didn’t have prescription cards with them, member’s prior insurance covered drugs when the insurance company shouldn’t have, amongst many other scenarios.
SENIOR BILLER – CVS HEALTH – 09/2016 THRU 4/2018
- My main priority is to code out visits for various Medicaid plans that the states has to offer low income families. I bill out drugs and supplies by making sure I abide by the payer’s rules for billing and coding. We do not bill out visits, we only bill out supplies and drugs. We do get most of our monies from the drugs themselves and not the supplies. I also am responsible for going thru several reports per day to make sure everything for the payer’s that I specifically deal with are up-to-date and do not get rejected for timely filing. I also make sure to answer any and all emails promptly. My supervisor also gives me several projects for me to work on because I like to help my supervisor out whenever needed.
- This job was just a temporary job until I got the job at CVS HEALTH. This job had only a few responsibilities… one was making sure to check out claims to see if they needed to be scrubbed. More often than not, these claims rejected for missing/invalid diagnosis code – mainly because they didn’t abide by ICD10 standards that came into effect in October 2015.
- My main priority is to code the visits the doctor’s have signed off. I have one year of coding home health. I am in charge of training billers and coders how our EMR system works which is called EMD’s. I have come a long ways when training new folks as I have never done this in the past. I take pride in what I do for a living. I just feel it’s time for a change in scenery. Also coded HCC for the duration of my time at Good Health Financial.
- I was in charge of coding out the superbills into Practice Partner (name of system at the office)
- I also would call patient’s regarding denials of claims, past due balances, etc. I was also trained scheduling for the front office when they would become short staffed.
- Also coded HCC for the duration of my time at Scottsdale Family Health.
